Signs That The Bitcoin Bulls Are Ready To Break Out

Here are a few of the most significant signs that the bulls are getting ready to break out and stampede on the markets.

Five years ago, the industry didn’t have as many investors as we see today and most mainstream media wouldn’t have given any crypto related news the light of day. There weren’t as many fans of blockchain as there is now and most updates regarding the industry wouldn’t have been heard by many. The people that this applies to will be probably kicking themselves now.

Looking at the most significant signs now, which suggest that the bulls are about to break out.

Bakkt

Some of you may have heard of Bakkt already but we’re going to go through a few reasons why you should get excited about it.

An InterContinental Exchange (ICE) announced the launching of a company called Bakkt in order to introduce physical Bitcoin backed features which essentially means that there will be a lot more Bitcoin heading into circulation at the back end of this year.

Designed for serving as a scalable on-ramp for institutional, consumer and merchant participation in virtual assets by promoting greater efficiency, security and utility according to the CEO of Bakkt, Kelly Loeffler.

According to a recent news article, if Bakkt keeps up with where it’s going and successfully goes through with its plans, Bitcoin could become accessible through retirement plans and “Millennials getting their first 401(k)s [offering Bitcoin]; Wall Street could then tap Bitcoin’s popularity as an alternative to stocks and bonds to generate giant trading volumes.”

Northern Trust

This company has over 9 trillion dollars worth in assets and has come into the crypto space with hedge funds betting on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The President of Northern Trust “I do believe that governments will ultimately look at digitizing their currencies, and having them trade kind of like a digital token — a token of the U.S. dollar — but the U.S. dollar [would still be] in a vault somewhere, or backed by the government”

Coinbase

In July this year, Coinbase opened up its custody service. This left the crypto market to institutional investors which are aiming to invest but stayed away due to the lack of custodial services. Coinbases development in this occurred during the bear market so it is yet to see its full potential.
